Versatile and vigorous, with finely textured, variegated evergreen foliage and remarkable durability, thriving in shade yet tolerating full sun without burning. Long, narrow leaves arch up from the crown and weep gracefully to form a well-behaved clump. Delicate, feathery plumes emerge in spring. An ideal container or landscape accent. Stunning en masse.
